Сhаpter 14: Саn Suisui’s Тhrоаt Be Curеd?!
“Тhe little рrincess’s wind-hеаt соld hаs аlreаdу grеаtly imprоved, and no toхins сan bе dеtесtеd in her bоdу.”
Аs he spоkе, Impеrial Physiсian Хu knelt down and рerfоrmed а dеep bоw.
“Pleasе fоrgivе mе, Your Highnеss. Тhis humblе оfficial is inсomрetent аnd truly doеs not know whу the Fifth Princеss саnnot sреak.”
Upon hеaring this, Соnsort Chеn frowned dеeрlу.
Аlthough shе could hеar Suisui’s inner thоughts, Suisui соuldn’t become a little mute.
Cоnsоrt Chen waved hеr hаnd. “Imperial Рhуsician Xu, rise. I am not blaming you. You may withdraw for now.”
Shangguan Sui nestled in Consort Chen’s arms and blinked.
[This Imperial Physician Xu’s medical skills are just average. But I remember, there is a female divine doctor in the Great Moon Kingdom who can be said to cure all ailments!]
Consort Chen’s ears immediately perked up, only to hear—
[But I forgot what her name is…]
Consort Chen sighed, worry evident between her brows.
Shangguan Sui turned her head and saw this, immediately extending her little hand to pat Consort Chen’s cheek.
“Abah abah—”
[Don’t be sad, Mother. The Great Moon Kingdom is full of talented people; surely someone can cure me!]
[Don’t worry, Mother! Everything will be fine!]
Consort Chen nodded, her eyes slightly red as she hugged Shangguan Sui tightly in her arms.
Her precious Suisui…
Imperial Study.
“Father, these are all the evidence of Marquis Zhenbei’s embezzlement of military provisions that Lu Yuan has confessed to.”
Shangguan Lin flipped through the report, his brow slightly furrowed.
“Is this all?”
Shangguan Jue nodded. “This is all Lu Yuan has confessed to. Marquis Zhenbei probably also felt his son was too incompetent and didn’t tell him everything.”
“But with just this, we cannot convict Marquis Zhenbei. After all, his military achievements are truly outstanding.”
“Unless we have solid evidence of his attempted rebellion, the court officials will certainly object.”
Shangguan Lin frowned. “You make a valid point.”
The Imperial Study fell silent for a moment.
Shangguan Jue was also frowning, thinking of a strategy.
Just then, a tender, crisp voice suddenly rang in Shangguan Lin’s mind.
[Marquis Zhenbei is practically going crazy wanting to be emperor. He’s already had seven or eight dragon robes made at home.]
The corners of Shangguan Lin’s lips curved upward, and he immediately looked up.
“I will assign you several Shadow Guards. Go and find something for me.”
Shangguan Jue was puzzled.
“What does Father wish to find?”
“Dragon robes.”
The next day.
Shangguan Sui slowly opened her eyes after sleeping her fill.
She found herself already in the Imperial Study.
[Why did my father bring me to the Imperial Study again?]
[I miss Mother~ I miss my fragrant, soft, beautiful Mother~]
[I don’t want to be here! Aahhh!]
As Shangguan Sui was complaining inwardly, a plate of fragrant pastries was placed before her.
Shangguan Sui immediately stopped, picked up a pastry, and began devouring it.
[Delicious delicious delicious!]
Shangguan Lin: …
What a swift change.
Shangguan Lin couldn’t help but curl his lips and chuckle softly.
Suisui was truly adorable.
Shangguan Sui munched on the pastry and noticed many memorials spread out in front of her.
They were all ones that had been reviewed but not yet closed, left open right before Shangguan Sui.
Feeling curious, Shangguan Sui began reading them.
They were all dialogues between officials and Shangguan Lin.
“Your Majesty, are you alright?”
Shangguan Lin: If you keep saying such nonsense, I’ll make sure something happens to you.
“Your Majesty, a woman in eastern Zhejiang performed a heroic act.”
Shangguan Lin: Are you that idle?
“Your Majesty, may this humble official return to the capital to celebrate the Empress Dowager’s birthday?”
Shangguan Lin: Permission denied.
After reading, Shangguan Sui fell silent.
Ah, the simple, unadorned life of an emperor.But it does seem to be true.
Shangguan Lin had always been a wise ruler in the early stages.
Apart from Marquis Zhenbei’s attempted rebellion, other regions remained relatively stable.
If not for Marquis Zhenbei’s rebellion two years later, the Great Moon Kingdom might have continued in such peace and stability.
“Grand Tutor Feng is resigning and returning to his hometown?”
Shangguan Lin softly read the contents of the memorial, his brow slightly furrowed as he let out a low sigh.
“Grand Tutor Feng can be considered a veteran minister. It was he who taught me to write…”
A childish voice suddenly rang in his ears.
[Grand Tutor Feng!!]
[Father! You can’t let him leave!]
Shangguan Sui tugged at Shangguan Lin’s sleeve.
“Ba ba ba ba—”
She pointed at the memorial.
Having heard Shangguan Sui’s inner thoughts, Shangguan Lin naturally understood her meaning.
But he pretended not to know, deliberately teasing her: “Does Suisui want to see this memorial too?”
Shangguan Sui shook her head and continued pointing at the memorial.
“Ba ba ba ba—”
[I don’t want to see the memorial, I don’t want Grand Tutor Feng to leave!]
Shangguan Sui grew so anxious that her little face flushed red.
Seeing this, Shangguan Lin’s heart softened instantly.
Following Shangguan Sui’s inner thoughts, he said, “Sui Sui doesn’t want Grand Tutor Feng to leave?”
Shangguan Sui immediately nodded.
[Phew, my father finally understands]
[I almost thought my father had turned into a fool]
Shangguan Lin: …
He would never tease Suisui again.
It wouldn’t be good if Suisui really thought he was a fool.
Shangguan Sui now remembered everything.
[Grand Tutor Feng isn’t important; his granddaughter is the key]
[His granddaughter, Feng Aici, is a true miracle doctor! She can cure all kinds of illnesses!]
[If I can meet her, she will definitely be able to heal my throat!]
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lin immediately perked up.
She can cure Suisui’s throat?!
That would be wonderful; she must be summoned to the palace!
But how could Grand Tutor Feng’s granddaughter be a miracle doctor?
He had never heard of such a thing before.
Shangguan Sui swung her little feet as she began recalling the original book’s Plot.
[Grand Tutor Feng’s wife came from a family of medical practitioners. Though skilled in medicine, she was confined to the inner chambers. She passed on all her lifelong knowledge to her granddaughter, Feng Aici]
[Feng Aici possesses exceptional medical skills and has been treating young women in the inner chambers. She is kind-hearted and highly skilled]
[In the original book, the male lead, Xiao Ziyuan, was fighting abroad when he was struck by a poisoned arrow and left hanging between life and death. It was Feng Aici who saved him]
[At that time, Feng Aici was already married with children. That day, she happened to be out on an excursion with her husband when they encountered Xiao Ziyuan in the wild. Feng Aici stepped in to save him and was later granted the title of First-Rank Lady]
Shangguan Lin nodded.
It seemed this Feng Aici truly had excellent medical skills. She could be summoned to the palace to treat Suisui.
At the same time, Shangguan Lin didn’t miss the two words “original book” mentioned by Shangguan Sui.
It seemed the things Suisui knew all came from this “original book.”
Sui Sui was a blessing from heaven, a goddess descended to the mortal world.
Therefore, this original book…
It must be a heavenly book!
Shangguan Lin suddenly understood.
So that’s how it is!
Shangguan Sui continued tugging at Shangguan Lin’s sleeve.
Using her mouth, she silently mouthed—
